Plot Synopsis
Storyline
A 19 years old London girl received agressive psychiatric treatments for her schizophrenic behaviour by a doctor who still wants her family to insure the guard of the child without any regards to the facts that it is this family who's agravating her situation. Written by Jean-Marie Berthiaume <jiembe@videotron.ca>

READ THIS: She's a young woman. Her parents love her and they care how she looks. And when they criticize her, it's for her own good. They can't understand the way she behaves, why she hurts them sometimes. Each day she finds it a little harder to go to work. One day she is found on a subway platform and doesn't know why she's there or where she is going. And when the police bring her home, her parents are embarrassed and they apologize to the policemen. And then 'Wednesday's Child' begins. The need for the truth is a basic human need that our society denies. This film satisfies that need. - Dr. R.D. Laing See more »Genres:

Sad, extremely true to life, though. Teenage girl trying to find herself while being restrained by parents who believe it's their way or the highway. No room for discussion, zero tolerance on the parents part. I could find no evidence of Schizophrenic behavior with the girl. Perhaps slightly bipolar. I felt extremely hurt by the mother's decision to make the girl abort her baby with no thought for how the girl would feel. The parents constant insistence that 'they know best' was so apparent throughout. The elder sister arguing with the parents in front of the g'children very sad but so much part of the family's everyday life.
